    3D adhesive eyes

    I recently picked up the DoIt Diner Shiner swimbait head mold.
    It has recessed eye sockets for 3D stick on eyes.
    How do you guys go about sealing the eyes so they don't fall out?
    I epoxied a few but I think it adds a little too much mass to the head.
    Any ideas? I'd prefer not to have to put the heads on a drying wheel if I can avoid it.
    Question everything!

    I use KBS Diamond Clear.... But in pinch I have used Sally Hansen's "Hard as Nails" clear nail polish.

    He probably meant to glue the eyes on.... I prefer to stick them on and use a clear of some kind over the eye and socket at least. The eyes look much better this way.
